EPG grabbers without tv_find_grabbers

Pavol Grohol

Hi guys,

I have HTS Tvheadend 3.1.537.gec3bb compiled and it is running on my Raspberry PI.
Unfortunately I am not able to make XMLTV package running (compile) there because of some missing perl modules.

But I have my own grabber file. Is it possible to have this file found by TvHeadend without tv_find_grabbers script?

I am reading that this is now required, but it looks that TvHeadend could find grabbers files by itself.

Thank you very much.

If tv_find_grabbers does not exist it will do a manual search of PATH, I re-added that when I realised it would cause chaos not to have it ;)

I think the script name must begin tv_grab_

Thanks Adam,

I have just compared sources I have downloaded in Ubunutu and in Raspbmc and there is a difference between them in file xmltv.c.
In Ubuntu I see that internal search will be executed in else .... case. But in Raspbmc I just see tv_find_grabbers usage.
Something wrong done when I have downloaded the files from github?

I don't know about that, I guess is raspbmc is packaging TVH then it depends what source they are using.

It definitely was removed in my original EPG rewrite and later added back in to remove hard requirement on tv_find_grabbers for things like OpenElec etc..

Thanks Adam,

I have just downloaded sources again and I see it now. Just now I am compiling and will try it later.
